Pour mixture directly from the Vitamix into the ice cream maker while it is moving.
Let the ice cream churn for about 20-25 minutes until it becomes a firm ball or the ice cream maker stops rotating.
Transfer to an airtight, freezer-friendly container and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until completely frozen.
Makes about 1 pint of ice cream.

Notes
To make without an ice cream maker:
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the ice cream mixture from the blender into a freezer-friendly container. Put it in the freezer and stir by hand every 15 minutes until it's frozen. It won't be as creamy but it will still taste delicious!
Ingredient Substitutions
Coconut milk: Full-fat coconut cream or coconut milk can be used in this recipe with great results! Using light coconut milk will cause it to be less creamy.
Almond butter: Any nut or seed butter can be used in this recipe. Besides almond butter I recommend cashew butter.
Honey. This dairy-free vanilla ice cream recipe calls for honey or maple syrup as the sweetener! Both of these sweeteners yield a delicious and creamy ice cream, but the maple syrup will impart a slight maple flavor.
